SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of understanding complex codebases by providing tools to extract structural information and architectural patterns, making codebases more navigable and maintainable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase Parsing: Utilizes Tree-sitter to extract Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) and identify symbols, triplets, and hierarchical state from various programming languages.
  • Architectural Pattern Identification: Leverages SSL (Semantic Structure Language) to represent high-level architectural relationships and design decisions beyond what ASTs can capture.
  • Use Case: When onboarding to a new project, use this Skill to quickly grasp the project's structure, identify key components like 'Mind' and 'Storage', and understand their interdependencies, significantly reducing ramp-up time.

Quick Start

Run the learn_codebase command with the path to your project to begin understanding its structure.

Frequently Asked Questions about codebase-learn

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I understand a new codebase and its architectural patterns?▼

To understand a new codebase, you extract codebase structure and architectural patterns using Tree-sitter to parse ASTs and SSL to represent high-level relationships, making the project navigable and maintainable.

Can I extract codebase structure from multiple programming languages?▼

Yes, you can extract codebase structure and symbols from C++, Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, and C# codebases using Tree-sitter to generate symbol nodes and hierarchical module states.

What is the best way to identify architectural patterns in an existing project?▼

The best way to identify architectural patterns is by leveraging SSL to represent design decisions beyond ASTs, analyzing file-to-symbol triplets to map high-level architectural relationships and interdependencies.

How do I parse ASTs to generate symbol nodes for code comprehension?▼

You parse ASTs by running the learn_codebase command on your project path, utilizing Tree-sitter to identify symbols, triplets, and hierarchical states to improve code comprehension and reduce onboarding ramp-up time.

Does Tree-sitter support analyzing hierarchical module states in Go and Rust?▼

Yes, Tree-sitter supports analyzing Go and Rust codebases to extract Abstract Syntax Trees, identifying hierarchical module states and file-to-symbol triplets for architectural insights and code comprehension.
